We loved our stay here. The room was nice and clean and the hosts were great. Breakfast was amazing, and it's a great starting point for the Ring of Kerry with some excellent advice from the hosts about things to do and see on the drive. I would definitely stay here again!

On our recent trip through Ireland, my partner and I traveled without making reservations in advance so we could enjoy a more "spontaneous" holiday. We ended up one evening in Kenmare. Reading through our Rick Steves guide we came across Virginia's Guesthouse. We've generally had good luck with his recommendations. Nothing as great as this B&B though! Noreen and Neil... More

We stayed one night in May before starting our trip around the Ring of Kerry. It was incredibly convenient for exploring Kenmare, dining, & pubs. The room was large, clean, quiet, & comfortable and the breakfast was fabulous. Niel & Noreen were very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend Virginia's!

My partner and I stayed at Virginia's Guesthouse for 2 nights in May 2013. This guesthouse is located in the centre of town, close to restaurants, shops and pubs. The hosts, Niel and Noreen, were very welcoming and friendly. Niel was a wealth of information on the local area and offered helpful suggestions to us. It was nice to speak... More

The proprietors, Neal and Noreen, are lovely people that run a nice and clean B & B. It is conveniently located in the heart of the city of Kenmare, where you can go and enjoy night life if you like. I highly recommend anyone that is going to see the Ring of Kerry to stay here and begin your journey... More

We have travelled the full length of Ireland and this has to be the BEST B&B by far. There is no comparison to the amazing hospitality, pristine rooms and exciting breakfast. 5 star treatment without the 5 star price tag - Don't stay anywhere else but here

We arrived late at night with an unconfirmed reservation. They gave us a bigger room at a lower rate and were very accommodating. The breakfast was delicious and the staff was very helpful. Parking is not great but if you do it later at night you won't have too much trouble.

What do I look for in a B & B? Location! and hosts that help you make the most of your time in their area. Virginia's is in the middle of a tiny town but one that has fabulous restaurants, pubs, and shops. Neil and Maureen are exceptional hosts and the house is very pretty. The breakfast is high quality... More

The hosts should be honored by the tourism ministry...exceptionally kind and accommodating. Rooms are good value. Comfortable, on small side. In town location perfect. Breakfast is superb. This is a great value with wonderful hosts.
